The best part of listening to a Buckethead studio album is when you hear a riff and go "psh, there's no way he can pull that off live" and are happily proven wrong when he does it even better.
Makes me wonder why everyone chooses the soothsayer live version to react to when his studio version sounds so much cleaner. This video currently however is just as good as his studio version of Lebrontron which is absolutely amazing.
10:05 LOL You can see him *almost* go for a tapping run on the bass…then his brain just goes “NOPE”. Watching musical decisions happen on the fly is part of what makes live performance so unique and interesting.
I want to see more , hope there is a 2019 tour , I will be there , God willing , I wish I could see him play baptism of solitude, it's my favorite, I think of my mom when I hear it , now it breaks my heart to hear it , only thing would make it better would be to see him play it ... he is amazing.

He melted my face off at wakarusa 09' my god when he played jordan. But I was on every conceivable drug ever. Lsd, shrooms, molly, DMT...I mean by time special K came around I thought dude wanted me to have some cereal 😂
Thank you for taking the time at the culture room and I know it's not easy there to produce such an awesome video there . The sound quality and video is definitely a 10 💯
I’ve been a BucketHead fan for years and watching never gets old.I’m not a guitarist just a fan but I wonder what his playing is viewed by fellow guitarist ?Even at 66 I want to learn this craft.Inspiring
ben ben he took evh's tapping skills to a whole new level! Also did that with many other well known riffs. Anyone should see it as a compliment, like, "hey man, my riff got bucketed!" Lol!
O dia que eu sober que esse grande guitarrista vem fazer Chow aqui em São Paulo eu quero assistir o Chow dele de perto grande guitarrista musico sou fã de carteirinha
Yes sir, that was me. It was a great show. He kills live. My ears are still ringing. I already have tinnitus, but it actually got worse after the show. Lol
Yeah anymore if you want to be be recognized by a producer anymore this is where you have to do it is on RU-vid when you get the followings yeah that's when they come talking just think of how many RU-vidrs have become famous and they're an independent
I recommend anyone who likes his music to see him play live at least once as it is even more incredible when you are standing 5 - 10ft away from him as he melts your face! The venues are usually really small and if get there modestly early there is no reason you can’t get to the front if you want to. When you witness his size and the musical energy pouring out of him it is truly a one of a kind experience. I imagine it would be similar to seeing Mozart play when he toured around Europe in the early 1700s.
Saw him live at the basement in Nashville. It was the best concert of my life so chill also he was nice enough to let all of us touch the killswitch on his les Paul as well he gave us all gifts. A game of clue for me. A oven MIT for my friend. And a hot wheel car for my other friend. I was in disbelief when I got home.
100% agree… been listening for over 10 years, finally got to see him in San Francisco last year. The energy of that show. Second to none. Looking forward to seeing him more.
Buckethead is unreal. I think he is an alien or a robot or an alien robot.. This video is awesome but doesn't come close to seeing him live. He looks like he is 10 feet tall.
His appearance actually is due to genetic disorder called marfan syndrome. People who suffer this condition are tall, thin, and have abnormally long fingers. A common test is to try and wrap your thumb and pinky around your wrist. Obviously, you can not do it...unless you have this condition. You can tell just by looking at his fingers as he plays that he most likely has it. It's how he's able to play some of the notes he does. In short: while he is for sure human, he has a genetic mutation to allows him to accomplish things most people can not on guitar. There is of course, a huge downside to the condition though: his heart is incredibly weak. Even just walking at a brisk pace can cause severe palpitations.
The way he looks down with his mask makes it feel like he's playing for you! I remember seeing him i think in 2009 and 2012 and i just felt like he was staring back at me so many times....he puts on an amazing show
Check my page for Soothsayer. I think it’s from 2009. He stares at my camera for more than 2 minutes then waves the guitar at the camera before walking away. Hypnotizing.
17:00 or so...All along the Watchtower...Can anyone imagine what Jimi would think if he walked in the door and saw Bucket? Guy has amazing strength to play that intensely for that long
@@brianvosburgh1720 there are 3 distinct bends that Jimi did in the original towards the end of the solo. Bucket repeats them here near the 17:51 mark. It’s subtle, but it’s definitely there. There are many references to Watchtower in the song, but might be what @raxxtango is referring to. Listen to this at 2:45: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TLV4_xaYynY.html
Major eargasm! I'm in love with this guitar virtuoso. His music soothes my pain and heals me. God bless him & may he bless us with his music forever...
